    GT86-Ian reacted to Subota Boy in Recall issued on cars to have valve springs replaced 2012-2013   
    All done!  The Tech spent 26 hours in total, although they can do a standard car now in around 14 hours. Car feels great so far and a little smoother. That may be the plugs. Very pleased so far.

    Just got the car back the clutch pedal a lot lighter, nice to be able to change gears again, the clutch fork was broken most likely caused by the Exedy after market clutch.
    If you plan to upgrade your clutch in the future I would also change the fork.

    GT86-Ian reacted to Deacon in Rogue Motorsport longtube Uel and El manifolds   
    For anyone who doesn't use the FB group thought I'd share this picture of the new Rogue Motorsport Uel and El longtube manifolds they now offer. 
    I'm running the El one and the power and, especially torque gains, are really impressive. 
    Good to have even more good tuning options available! 

    Picture is without the overpipe which also forms part of the runners on these. Think this is the only longtube Uel that uses the overpipe as part of the runners for our cars.

    Great meet up again, unfortunate the clutch decided to let go just as we were leaving... seems like I spent most of the day in that car park think I got home about 6.30pm.
    Had to leave the car parked up outside the garage gates hopefully it will be ok  🙄

    Hi.
    If you do have any issues with insurance at all which hopefully you won't then please feel free to drop me a line.
    Regards,

    I think the boot lid is less than £450 unpainted, but the 2017+ spoiler is £600+
     
    BTW chances are you will have to travel to find your car.

    Here is Martin's lovely BRZ.  Shame we only had one attend.  How it was so clean after coming all the way from Basingstoke I'm not sure.  Thanks Martin!

    Hi All,
    After drooling after them for years, took the plunge on a rather nice 2013 GT86!
    Now onto a question, of course :) I want to get a space saver wheel for it, but not sure of the dimensions / tyre size to get.  Would https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135-70-R16-Bridgestone-Subaru-5x100-Spacesaver-100M/123817698352?hash=item1cd41c2430:g:ASMAAOSw-hVdFb7e  be likely to fit?  I think its correct bolt spacing, but not sure on brake clearance, diameter etc...
